Canada Right Now: It is hard to overstate how big this thing is getting - this is a typical scene that is playing out at EVERY SINGLE highway overpass on our 400-series highways as well as the Trans-Canada Highway, and at each location, more drivers join the convoy. Very proud moment for us.

I know! Just got home from the small over pass 5 min from my house. Thought there would be maybe a half dozen cars there. Instead there had to have been at least a hundred ! Some sat in their cars beeping their horns but most were standing with signs and flags(like me). It is minus 13 but with the wind chill more like minus 20. The bigger area where people were meeting to support the truck convoy is about 20 min drive away and I'm sure there was 5 times as many people there! Amazing! Pretty near froze and feel like I have frost bite on my cheeks....face and butt (!) but it's nice to be part of history. (New Brunswick, Woodstock area)
God bless you. God bless Canada.
Anyone not familiar with just how cold -13° is, hue-mans go hyperthermic between 17-45 seconds, so... These are indeed Patriots!!
Yep, that is why up north you tend to find thicker coats and people find ways to stay warm. We bought a whole set of hand and foot warmers
Depending on how dry it is and how hard the wind is blowing, it's actually not that bad. This is especially true if the sun is out. Once you get past -25 it's another level. This is of course assuming that you're used to the cold
The worst I experienced was -35 + windchill. I had to walk about 15 blocks, I was going and eventually started getting tired. Looked at the snow bank and figured I could warm up covered in snow.
Then I slapped myself and told myself that I was being stupid and if I lied down that I wasn't going to get back up again.
Finally got home and it took about 2 hours under blankets before I stopped shivering.
I was staking claims in the NWT once and when I finished my portion I was exhausted. I laid down to rest while waiting for my colleague to meet up with me. When I woke up, the helicopter was landing to pick "us" up and I had an inch of fresh snow on me. My colleague had injured himself and was in the helicopter with broken ribs. If things had gone differently, I might not have woken up.
I'll never take a nap in the snow again.
Most of them know how to dress. That used to be my norm when ice fishing.
I can't even imagine.
Im sure that -13 is in C so it is 9 F. Cold for sure but not hypothermic in 17 seconds cold.
God bless your butt! kek
Bravo! Reminds me of that song..."I'll stand by you ...won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you." WWG1WGA 🇱🇷
Got fam near Millville. God bless you, fren! Praying for Canada! 🙏
Millville? Really/ That's not far from me. Cool :)
Yup. My FIL grew up in the lumber camps and still has siblings there. 🙂 I’ve been up there once myself—in mid-February. 🥶 BEAUTIFUL country, wonderful people. ☺️
